Course Rules

Course attendance is mandatory; unless permission is obtained from instructor for missing a class with a valid reason (documentation needed for medical emergency for student or a close family member – e.g., spouse, parent, child). Attendance will be collected every lecture. 3 points will be deducted out of 100 for each lecture missed without approval.

Each student will work individually Late assignments will not be accepted. All assignments have to be

turned in just after the lecture on the due date No make up exams unless student can produce a medical certificate or

give evidence of close family emergency Copying material from other sources will not be permitted unless the

source is properly referenced Any student who plagiarizes from other sources will be reported to the

appropriate UTD authroities
